Another common desalination process is Reverse Osmosis. It involves a solvent passing through a semi-permeable membrane; meaning this particular membrane only allows some molecules to penetrate or pass through. The solvent will then go into a solution with higher concentration of molecules.
In February, Yorktown introduced the Electric Green Tetra, a genetically modified black tetra fish. Like its zebra fish cousin, the GM tetra is a small freshwater fish that includes genetic material from a fluorescent coral that makes it neon-bright. Under a black light, it glows in the dark.ince Yorktown Technologies first sold its genetically modified pet â the GloFish â in 2003, the fluorescent fish, an altered variety of zebra fish, has become a popular aquarium item, with millions sold in various neon hues.
A genetically modified organism, or GMO, is an organism that has had its DNA altered or modified in some way through genetic engineering.In most cases, GMOs have been altered with DNA from another organism, be it a bacterium, plant, virus or animal; these organisms are sometimes referred to as transgenic organisms.A gene from a spider that helps the arachnid produce silk, for example, could be inserted into the DNA of an ordinary goat.n most cases, GMOs have been altered with DNA from another organism, be it a bacterium, plant, virus or animal; these organisms are sometimes referred to as transgenic organisms.
